While Europe groans under heatwaves, extreme weather destroys harvests, and insurance companies begin pulling out of entire regions, Michael Kretschmer strikes a different tone: Germany, says the Minister President of Saxony, does not need to be climate neutral by 2045. 2050 will suffice. Growth before change is his formula \u2013 one that is dangerously regressive. Kretschmer is engaging in what must be called political revisionism of responsibility. In an interview with WirtschaftsWoche, he openly questions the climate goal that has been enshrined in the German constitution since March. His argument: energy security, competitiveness, and the need to finance social systems. It is the old mantra of the delayers, cloaked in the rhetoric of economic reason.<em>he<\/em> stellt er das seit M\u00e4rz im Grundgesetz verankerte Klimaziel offen infrage. Das Argument: Energiesicherheit, Wettbewerbsf\u00e4higkeit, soziale Finanzierungsnotwendigkeiten. Es ist das altbekannte Mantra der Verz\u00f6gerer, eingekleidet in die Rhetorik wirtschaftlicher Vernunft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But behind this rhetoric lies more than skepticism \u2013 it is a systematic dismantling. As early as 2023, Kretschmer downplayed Germany\u2019s role in global climate change, pointing to the country\u2019s comparatively small share of emissions \u2013 as if the moral responsibility of an industrial nation of 80 million people could be dismissed that easily. Criticism followed promptly, especially from Fridays for Future, accusing him of a lack of vision and \u201ca sellout of our ecological future.\u201d In 2025, Kretschmer is now taking this stance further with calculated clarity. The expansion of wind power is happening \u201ctoo fast,\u201d and the number of hours with negative electricity prices is a sign of overproduction \u2013 all while ignoring that such price signals are an expression of a transitional phase that can only be mitigated through strategic grid expansion and storage solutions. What Kretschmer offers instead is a straw man: as if Saxony needs to be protected from clean energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And once again, the lignite coal phaseout is invoked \u2013 the eternal specter of supposed overreach. Kretschmer speaks of the destruction of prosperity, where others speak of transformation. Of speed as the problem, not as the answer to an escalating crisis. The fact that Germany is securing structural change in eastern regions with billions in support goes unmentioned in his narrative. This attitude is not an isolated case but part of a broader pattern: Saxony\u2019s government approved just two new wind turbines in the entire first quarter of 2025 \u2013 a disgrace in an era where every kilowatt hour counts. Instead of promoting solutions, Kretschmer clings to the image of an overwhelmed citizen, supposedly steamrolled by climate protection. An image that fits populist narratives \u2013 and is therefore dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because it ignores what is truly at stake. Climate neutrality is not an ideology \u2013 it is a necessity. The economic costs of inaction already exceed the costs of transition. Every month that Germany keeps its foot on the brake is a month future generations can no longer afford. Michael Kretschmer may see himself as the voice of the realists. In truth, however, he aligns himself with those politicians who cling to the status quo instead of facing the future with courage. Those who speak this way are not just questioning climate goals \u2013 they are questioning the very principle of political responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2050 is not a goal. It is a retreat. And it leads straight into a dead end.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"eu-news,planet-earth\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1748822958\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Verlorene Zeit \u2013 Wie Michael Kretschmer den deutschen Klimakonsens aufk\u00fcndigt\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/kaizen-blog.org\/en\/\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Es sind Worte, die wie aus einer anderen \u00c4ra klingen.
